Förmodligen den största matchen i UFC historia offentliggjordes igår när det blev klart att mästaren Khabib Nurmagomedov kommer att försvara sin lättviktstitel mot superstjärnan, och före detta mästaren, Conor McGregor.
Nurmagomedov (26-0 MMA, 10-0 UFC) och McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) kommer att mötas på UFC 229 i Las Vegas den 6:e oktober.
McGregor har varit borta från MMA i två år och reaktionerna på nyheten om hans återkomst lät inte vänta på sig.

GAME. ON. Biggest fight in UFC history is OFFICIAL @TheNotoriousMMA vs @TeamKhabib Oct 6th

Makes zero sense to put @NateDiaz209 vs @DustinPoirier on UFC 230. They should be fighting on UFC 229, period.

Gotta admit I never thought Conor would take this fight. Win or lose I respect him for coming back to the worst matchup he could ask for. Who you got? #Repost @ufc
